Treed from a distance...

Dora and Sampson

Went for our early morning walk, in the grey quiet, in the woods ... 'our' being dora and sampson and me being dragged along behind! all was quiet and lovely until............. two masked bandits were spotted.... four sets of ears went up, alertness exuded from sampson and dora, straining on their leashs, one foot up (pointer position), was pretty cute... and primal... the two masked bandits just stood, ears cocked, and debated ... a bit of quiet chatter or low growl and up the nearest tree they went.. neither were in a hurry... i'm thinking they've taken How to annoy a dog 101....
so the doggie treats Grandma Pat gave them.... welllllll i guess they were some kinda yummy, since the moment i left the house, they were snitched off the counter, and i came back to find one baggie ripped open and licked clean....
will see if i can get the recipe from her daughter... maybe i can even post the pic of them... they looked pretty good and smelled pretty tasty too... veggies and peanut butter.. how bad can that be!!!

the doggie treats you buy are expensive and who knows what's in them.. i hate to think about it... i do have some jerky sweet potatoes.. i'm going to try and make them at home... can't be too hard can it.. i'll let you know how it goes!

A message from your sponsor... (ahem) not really......

but a message from my heart... if from this blog, only one person garners information and utilizes it in their lives, then i've accomplished what i wished....in our rush to become 'high tech' we as a society are losing our ability to be self sufficient or at least 'practical' and somewhat independent souls... nothing is more satisfying than eating a fresh tomato off the vine, or gathering an egg from a chicken that you've tended from chickhood or even inhaling the deep earthy scents after a warm summer rain..... enjoy
